Ideally, we would have wanted to do 3 tests as a minimum for a single thermal paste and showing the average of these three runs but due to my poor health condition, one test result is shown.

Novamente, a chave é ter bastante paciência, é como fazer um escondidinho: pode parecer bem feio no momento que aplica, mas com cuidado você consegue formar uma camada quase perfeita. If things ever get to the point where the small advantage that TG has over NT-H2 actually matters, it's probably time for more drastic measures than just a TIM change. W/m-K and it has a temperature range between -40 and 180 degrees Celsius, which essentially means that it's not designed for extreme overclocking. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

The substance of which the paste is composed need not be homogeneous, the oil is being separated from it. The Arctic MX-4 thermal paste is made of carbon microparticles that fill the microscopic dents on the surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors.

As part of a quality control, Arctic reportedly encountered anomalies in the composition of its latest MX-5 thermally conductive paste. Kamen Rider Blade said:If MX-6 turns out to be superior while maintaining the same longevity, then I won't begrude Artic Cooling for getting rid of MX-4 as well.It is like it has not been mixed properly as there are very runny watery parts and very thick parts that don't really want to come out of the syringe and I needed to mix it ON the CPU lid for ages until I was happy it would have a consistent thickness across the CPU.

Arctic Cooling, often referred to simply as Arctic, is a Swiss-based company that specializes in producing cooling solutions and thermal management products for computers and other electronic devices. KitGuru says: It's never ideal to find out a product you bought is faulty, but credit to Arctic for their transparency and doing the right thing. Room temp between the grizzly and mx4 test has been 24-28c, the MX-5 still performed the same at a room temp of 30c during the heatwave! Even if some did, chances are that the cooler will be removed at some point, which would have required a thermal paste reapplication anyway.Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase. The too thick or too thin thermal paste would not help result in efficient thermal conductivity since too sparse or too thick to even spread out would be counterproductive.
